The Duke You Know by Eva Devon

A lady made notorious
As a child, Lady Persephone Blakeney witnessed first-hand the dangers of a bad marriage. Despite that tragic past, she’s blossomed into an independent, wild young woman, content in her unmarried state. Then one day she meets the wife hunting Duke of Drake; a man with a dark past of his own. Sparks and passions immediately fly. She knows better than to fall preys to the danger of marriage…but what about passion outside of marriage.

A duke with a ruinous secret
The Duke of Drake has never known love. Only passion and hate. Despised by his parents for a childhood stutter, he is determined to give a child the life and love he never had. Clever and clearly passionate, Lady Persephone seems the perfect choice. But a secret shadows his life and she has declared no interest in marriage. Can he give into the passion she so desires without taking her to wife?
When Percy finds her fortunes turn, she must consider a fate she’d long disavowed. A single proposition and one soul searing kiss will change everything. But can it lead to love or will the Duke’s secret destroy them.
